1.3 General instructions
Safety risks (read carefully!)
After disconnecting power, wait 10 minutes before removing the drive
enclosure.
Before operating and maintenance work always check that all voltages at the
terminals are zero or at levels which are harmless.
Always make sure the compressor has stopped completely before removing
the drive enclosure.
As soon as the drive is connected to the power supply the input terminals will
be at line voltage even when the compressor is not rotating.
Do not measure insulation resistance or dielectric rigidity directly via the
input terminals with power supply connected.
Review relevant safety standards concerning installation of high voltage
devices, as well as the regulations for the correct use of personal protective
equipment.
The drive can only be used for purposes specified by the manufacturer.
This product can cause both AC and DC earth leakage current. To protect
against both kinds of leakage current an AC/DC sensitive RCD must be
installed in front of the EV3 drive.
Do not make any modifications or replace any components as these actions
may lead to consequences including but not limited to fire and electric shock
and will void the warranty. Product modifications are not allowed. The
manufacturer is not responsible for any unauthorized modification made to
the product by the user.
A proper earth connection of the drive must be ensured to avoid the risk of
electric shock.
The IP20 protection is only given after all terminals are connected with
isolated ring and isolated blade terminals!
In special cases of using the drive without the IP20 enclosure, which is in
general forbidden, the protection against direct and indirect touching must be
part of the system design to avoid any risk of electric shock!
DC/AC chokes must be covered on system side to avoid any risk of electric
shock!
Use safety shoes to avoid foot injury.
Handle the drive carefully.
Protect the drive from dust. During installation make sure to clean off the
debris caused by drilling. Remove any conductive debris inside the drive
which can cause damage or malfunction.
Before touching the heatsink or unpowered chokes, make sure that the
temperatures are within safe limits to avoid burn injury.
In general, the drive cannot be used in an environment where a direct
contact with flammable or explosive substances can occur. Furthermore, use
in a transcritical system is not allowed. Use with A2L flammable refrigerants
is only foreseen in systems based on the IEC 60335-2-40:2018-05 standard
with some restrictions shown in these guidelines.
Table 2: Safety risks
1.4 Use with A2L refrigerants
The EV3 drive is not designed or qualified based on the ATEX directive! Use
with A2L flammable refrigerants is possible if the system design is based on
the IEC 60335-2-40:2018-05 standard.
The EV3 drive has been assessed in accordance with IEC 60335-2-40, and does not represent a
source of ignition for A2L if the following points are respected:
▪The drive mounting area must be in Zone 2 or outside any ATEX zone and in line with "Pollution
Degree 2" classification.
▪No airstream guided over the drive itself.

AGL_Sol_EV3_E_Rev_02 3

3.3 Mounting
The drive should be located as close to the compressor as possible, preferably within 1 metre of the
compressor. To avoid electromagnetic interference please ensure that the motor cables do not cross
or attach to any other connecting cables.
There should be at least a natural air stream inside the cabinet and around the drive to keep the
temperature below 60 °C.
There are holes in the drive mounting flange for mounting purposes. These holes will accommodate
M6 sized screws.
The panel on which the EV3 drive is mounted must be able to support its weight, ie, 17 kg.
The drive should be positioned in such a way that the input and output terminals are on the bottom
side. After connecting the input and output cables, one must not forget to place back the protection
cover for the terminals.
Caution: Respect the maximum screw torques to avoid any damage to the frame:
▪M5 screws: 3.9 Nm
▪M6 screws: 6.7 Nm
To achieve better cooling it is recommended to mount the drive in the lower or middle part of the
cabinet. Ensure that the drive is mounted in such a way that good natural convection is possible.
Figure 3 and Table 7 below show the minimum clearance spaces to other components and devices
near the drive. In addition to those requirements, a decent height between the case and other
components and devices is needed.

3.4 Electrical installation
Please read carefully the safety
instructions in Chapter 1 and Table 1!
3.4.1 Earth leakage protection
In all inverter devices like the EV3 drive, earth leakage current (DC, AC) may occur. To protect
against both kinds of leakage currents, an AC/DC-sensitive residual current circuit breaker must be
installed in front of the EV3 drive.
3.4.2 Grid supply and compressor wiring
Figure 4 shows the general wiring to the power grid and to the compressor. This wiring diagram
does not show any system-related components like fuse breaker, RCD and the additional ferrites for
EMC.
Paragraph 3.4.6 "Control terminal" shows how to wire control-related components like DLT-sensor,
high-pressure limiter and the RS485 serial communication (Modbus) to the drive.
Figure 4: Wiring EV3150B, EV3185B
3.4.3 DC chokes
The integrated DC choke has protection class IP00 and temperature class H. The choke is positioned
between the heatsink of the drive and the drilled metal sheet, within the lower metal case. The fan
provides the necessary airstream for proper cooling. The chokes are fully covered to protect against
direct touching. Short connecting cables are used to minimize the possibility of EMI issues. The
choke dimensions are shown in Appendix 2: "Choke dimensions".

3.4.4 Power grid connection
Table 9 includes information on how to connect the drive to the grid. The maximum input current is
based on a power factor of approximately 0.9. The ferrites, fuses and cable cross sections should be
considered as a recommendation and can be different based on the system design. One ferrite is
needed for the input cable (L1, L2, L3). The PE cable must not be passed through the ferrite. The
connection between the cables and the drive screw terminals should be done with 5 mm ring
terminals. The drives are IP20 protection class; therefore, make sure to re-screw the terminal
protection after wiring the drive in order to maintain the standard. Also, the use of isolated ring and
isolated blade terminals is mandatory for all terminals to maintain the IP20 class.

The grid must provide a RSCE ≥250 Ω, together with a system input current greater than 16 A on
each phase to be in line with standard EN 61000-3-12.
For users who are unable to qualify for EN 61800-3 Category C2, an external EMI filter can be fitted
in front of the drive.
3.4.5 Compressor connection

Table 10: Compressor connection
The drive output terminals are named U, V, W. In addition to this, there is a PE terminal which must
be wired directly to the compressor earth point. The cables should be as short and the ferrites as
close to the drive as possible. In any case the motor cables should not cross any other cables to
avoid EMI issues. By using a shielded cable, which is in general not designed for cable lengths less
than 2 metres, ensure proper shielding on both sides to get best results. One ferrite is needed for
the output cable (U,V,W). The use of isolated ring and isolated blade terminals is mandatory for all
terminals to maintain the IP20 class.
3.4.6 Control terminal
Each drive has a 9-pin control terminal including the 9-pin plug counterpart (JITE PTB750B-00-1-09-
3). The 5 V terminals are designed to provide voltage supply to the DLT input, the STO input, ie,
high-pressure limiter (see paragraph 3.4.8 "STO input"), and if necessary to the RS485 serial
communication circuit. No other usage of these 5 V and 24 V power supplies is allowed.
Figure 5: Control terminal
Caution: Consider the total maximum output
currents:
▪Terminal 5 V (2, 8) < 150 mA

10 AGL_Sol_EV3_E_Rev_02
3.4.7 DLT input
To protect the compressor against high discharge temperatures it is possible to connect a discharge
line temperature sensor (DLT) between control terminals 1 and 2. This sensor input is configurable
via register [207]. By default, it is disabled.
Sensor specifications:
▪Type: NTC 10 kΩ@ 25 °C
▪Accuracy: ± 1 %
▪Powered by: Internal 5 VDC (terminal 2)
▪Temp. range: -40 to +150 °C
▪Reference: Emerson TP1 series
The sensor should be mounted on the discharge line approx. 120 mm away from the compressor
outlet.
After starting the compressor, the drive observes the temperature from the DLT sensor. The
observable temperature range is between -40 and 150 °C.
3.4.8 STO input
An STO input (Safety Torque Off) is available between terminals 3 and 4 to connect a safety high-
pressure limiter. The input is designed as a protected electronic circuit (PEC) based on the safety
standard EN 60335-1. In case of a high-pressure situation the drive will let the compressor stop
immediately. The drive will remain in a safe state until the controller sends a clear fault command to
the drive.
NOTE: It is not allowed to use any other external power supply with a higher voltage rating to
avoid damaging the STO input!
High-pressure limiter specifications:
▪Type: Safety switch (NC, ie, normally closed; based on latest version of EN 12263)
▪Contacts: Golden plated contacts
▪Powered by: Internal 24 VDC (terminal 4)
▪Current flow: Typically ~10 mA
▪Reference: Emerson PS4 series
Caution: Connect the safety limiter directly to terminals 6 and 7 without any relay etc. in
between. Otherwise the safety will probably not be safeguarded any longer.
3.4.9 Modbus communication
The drive acts as a Modbus slave with a pre-selected address 45. The serial communication between
drive and any kind of controller or user interface is physically driven via RS485 (control terminals 5,
6 and 7) and logically via the Modbus RTU protocol. If a master controller needs to be supplied with
5 VDC the control terminal 8 can be used.
During start-up cycle, if the auto-adaptive function is enabled, the drive can automatically detect the
baud rate and parity. If communication auto-adaptive function is not enabled, the drive will use baud
rate and parity read from EEPROM. Further information is provided in the Modbus map.
3.4.10 Drive cooling control
The drive provides temperature values from the power modules mounted on the heatsink. These
values should be used to monitor and control proper drive cooling from system side.
Dedicated registers for temperature sensing:
▪[70]: PIM Temperature
▪[22]: PIM Overtemperature
▪[42]: PIM Speed-drop protection limit
Exceeding the overtemperature limit (register [22]) the drive will immediately shut down the
compressor. When the temperature of the power module reaches 80 °C (stored in register [42]), the
fan starts close to full-speed and then gradually reduces its speed, while the temperature of the
module decreases. The fan will stop only if the drive is turned off.

AGL_Sol_EV3_E_Rev_02 11
4 Start-up & operation
The configuration and control of the drive are based on the #OneEmerson Modbus®Map.
4.1 #OneEmerson Modbus®Map
The #OneEmerson Modbus Map is provided as a separate document which shows also the status,
alarm, configuration and control registers. Furthermore, it provides an advanced register description.
For the latest version of the Modbus map, please contact the Application Engineering department at
Emerson.
4.2 Drive configuration
The EV3 drives were specially designed for the ZPV066/096 and YPV066/096 compressors. The
compressor code will be set by default, so it will not have to be introduced by the user. The standard
default configuration may be used, or it may be adapted to the user’s requirements.
Before starting the configuration, the user has to introduce the password 9029 (decimal value) in
register [200], in order to have access to registers [201] to [234]. Table 11 describes the first steps
in configuring the drive.
Step
Action
1
DLT sensor used?
▪Yes: Connect the sensor to pins 1 and 2 of the communication terminal. By default,
the DLT is enabled.
▪No: Introduce the value 0 in register [207] or connect a resistor between pins 1 and
2.
2
STO sensor used?
▪Yes: Connect the sensor to pins 3 & 4 of the communication terminal.
▪No: Place a jumper between pins 3 & 4 of the communication terminal.
Table 11: Configuration steps
NOTE: The drive stores the configuration from registers [200]-[213] after each power cycle.
Wrong configuration will not be cleared with a power cycle!
4.3 Drive operation modes
There are two main operation modes:
▪Compressor Run mode
▪Stator Heating mode
While selecting both control modes at the same time the compressor run mode has the highest
priority. While stator heating is already on, sending a compressor run command will terminate the
stator heating mode and start the compressor.
4.3.1 Compressor Run mode
Go through the following sequence:
▪make sure that there are no faults;
▪turn the compressor on by selecting Enable in the list, register [100];
▪introduce the speed demand in register [101].
The drive will accelerate and decelerate by the rates defined in [211] and [212].
4.3.2 Stator Heating mode
Go through the following sequence:
▪if the compressor is running, set the value of the speed demand in register [101] to 0;
▪make sure the compressor is enabled (select Enable in the list, register [100]);
▪introduce the percentage of power needed in register [102], based on the algorithm below. Note
that once a value is introduced in register [102], stator heating mode is automatically enabled.
There is no separate register for turning on and off the stator heating mode.

The power demand must be written in register [102]. The value represents the percentage of power
(0 - 100 %). The maximum power that can be commanded on the stator is readable via register [52].
The relation between the power and the value introduced in register [102] is the following:
▪If the value is a multiple of 10:
𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟~150 × ([102]
100 )
▪If the value is not a multiple of 10:
𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 ~ 150 × ([102] 𝑑𝑖𝑣 10 + 1)×10
100
(Stator Heating Demand = value stored in register [102])
The power commanded on the stator is interpreted by the drive according to Table 12:

4.4 Envelope control
The drive offers 4 different envelope control modes allowing the compressor to operate at four
different safety levels within the dedicated envelopes. Two conceptually different methods are
provided to achieve this:
▪Passive Envelope Control (modes 0, 1, 2) which is based on the internal current/speed curve
of the drive;
▪Active Envelope Control (mode 3) which takes actions based on the evaporating and
condensing temperatures/pressures received from the system controller via Modbus.
The 4 modes can be selected from a list through register [231]:
o0: Full Envelope Protection
o1: High-Speed Envelope Protection
o2: Advanced Speed-Drop Protection Mode
o3: Active Envelope Protection
4.4.1 Passive Envelope Protection
The passive envelope control implies the so-called Overload Protection. Based on the compressor
operation envelope, which is transferred in a speed-current curve, the drive will compute and adjust
frequently the output current threshold. Once the output current exceeds this calculated threshold
the drive will go in the Speed-Drop Protection (SDP) mode, ie, a kind of power limitation to protect
the drive and the stator windings against overload. The difference between the three modes from the
user’s point of view, consists in the access to different speed ranges and the speed at which the
drive folds back in case of speed-drop protection:
0: Full Envelope Protection
▪Overload Protection enabled.
▪Normal Operation Mode: the minimum speed is the speed available for the whole envelope.
Taken from the EEPROM and stored in register [109].
▪SDP mode: the speed at which the drive drops is the same as the minimum speed from the
Normal Operation mode.
▪In this mode the user provides only the speed demand.

AGL_Sol_EV3_E_Rev_02 13
1: High-Speed Envelope Protection
▪Overload Protection enabled.
▪Normal Operation: the minimum speed is the minimum speed of the envelope. Value taken from
the EEPROM and updated frequently based on the operating point. The user must take care to
run the compressor within the envelope at all times.
▪SDP mode: the minimum speed is the speed available for the whole envelope. Taken from the
EEPROM and stored in register [109].
▪In this mode, besides the speed demand, the user must send the minimum speed for each
operating point.
2: Advanced Speed-Drop Protection Mode
▪Overload Protection enabled.
▪Normal Operation: the minimum speed is the minimum speed of the envelope. The value is stored
and updated frequently in register [109].
▪SDP mode: the speed at which the drive drops is the minimum speed of the envelope. The value
is stored and updated frequently in register [109].
▪In this mode, besides the speed demand, the user must also provide the minimum speed
depending on the operating point for the Normal Operation and SDP modes in register [109].
4.4.2 Active Envelope Protection
The Active Envelope Control (selectable via register [231], mode 3) comprises of two stages:
Stage I: Out-of-maximum application envelope detection
The drive receives the evaporating and condensing temperatures via Modbus from the system
controller. Then it checks whether the operating point is within the envelope. If the operating point is
out of the envelope for 15 seconds an alarm is sent to the system controller (bit 12, register [51]).
If the compressor is not running inside the envelope, the drive acts differently based on the region in
which the running point is. The outer part of the envelope is spread into two parts: the grey zone
below the envelope and the white zone. This particular feature is based on the different behaviour of
the installation during start-up. In this way the compressor is allowed to run below the envelope
during start-up and defrost, until the setpoint stabilizes within the envelope.
Figure 6: Application envelope of ZPV0962E with R410A (20 °F SH, 15 °F SC, 95 °F ambient)
White zone:
▪Speed range: 2600-6000 rpm
▪Allowed running time: 30 seconds

14 AGL_Sol_EV3_E_Rev_02
Grey zone:
▪Speed range: 2600-6000 rpm
▪Allowed running time based on the evaporating temperature:
oif less than -15 °C: 15 minutes
oif more than -15 °C: 30 minutes
If the speed demand is less than 2600 rpm or more than 6000 rpm, the speed is increased or
decreased automatically to respect the speed range. The time and temperature thresholds are
readable through registers [318], [319], [320] and [321]. The time remaining for running outside of
the envelope is readable through register [47]. The DLT feature is enabled while Active Envelope
Protection is in place.
Stage II: Speed limits within an envelope sub-region
If the working point is within the envelope, the drive will limit the speed range of each sub-region of
the envelope (minimum speed stored in register [44] and maximum speed stored in register [45]).
The coordinates of the point are compared with several predefined lines, for a proper localization of
the sub-region.
If the compressor is running outside the allowed speed limits, a warning is given and the speed is
changed accordingly.
In case of Speed-Drop Protection, the drive may reduce the speed as low as the minimum allowed
speed for the envelope region.
Outside the qualified application envelope, the speed limits are restricted to the whole envelope
speed band, ie, 2600-6000 rpm.
There are 6 sub-regions in total, which can be identified in the envelopes as per Appendix 4.
4.5 Clearing faults
Faults can be cleared after 30 seconds. To do this, follow the steps below:
1) Set Compressor Speed Demand to zero [101]
2) Set Compressor Enable command to zero [100]
3) Set Clear Fault command [103]
NOTE: Once a Clear Fault command is sent, faults will only be cleared if their triggering cause
is gone. The Clear Fault command remains active until the last remaining fault has been
cleared. If all the faults have been cleared, the Clear Fault command will automatically be
reset.
4.6 Compressor start-up
The start-up control is divided into four stages, considering the default values:
▪Stage I: (~2 seconds) The compressor will run from 0 to 1500 rpm at a default acceleration rate
of 600 rpm/s.
▪Stage II: (T1) The compressor continues to increase its speed from 1500 to 3600 rpm with an
acceleration rate of 1000 rpm/s.
▪Stage III: (T2~120 seconds) The compressor will remain at 3600 rpm for 120 seconds. The speed
from region III is set to 3600 rpm by default, but it can be configured through register [213]. Also,
the time (default value = 120 seconds) is configurable via register [234].
▪Stage IV: After 120 seconds, the compressor will reach the commanded speed by a default
acceleration/deceleration rate of 200 rpm/s. The acceleration and deceleration rates can be
changed by introducing different values into registers [211], [212] (the maximum allowed value is
600 rpm/s).

4.7 Compressor shutdown
The user has the possibility to perform an immediate shutdown or a controlled shutdown. By setting
the compressor Enable register [100] to Disabled, while the speed demand is greater than 0, the
drive will perform an immediate stop. Otherwise if the user sends a Disable command as well as 0
speed demand (insert 0 in Compressor Speed Demand register [101]), the drive will issue a
controlled stop. During the controlled shutdown, if the speed is lower than 3600 rpm the drive will
automatically decelerate towards 0 with more than 1000 rpm/s.
However, if the speed is higher than the platform speed (3600 rpm) it will decelerate with a default
rate of 200 rpm/s until it reaches the platform speed, then decelerate automatically with more than
1000 rpm/s. The deceleration rate may be configured through register [210] in the range of 30 to
600 rpm/s.

5 Optional analog board
The analog board is foreseen for users who do not have the possibility to control the EV3 drive via
an RS485 communication and the Modbus protocol. To control the EV3 drive the analog board needs
a digital-enable signal and an analog signal to set the speed or heating demand. The drive
compressor package must be selected by a 6-digit DIP-switch. The 7-segment display shows the
status, failure codes as well the software version. The board also provides the system controller with
a PWM feedback signal with the main information. To protect the compressor a DLT sensor as shown
in paragraph 3.4.6 "Control terminal"must be wired to the drive control terminal.
If a DLT protection is already part of the system controller a wired resistance of 10 kΩcan bypass
this protection on the drive side. In normal operation it is possible to select limited or full speed range
via terminal L (CN104). Using the full speed range, the main controller must take care that in each
sub-envelope the speed does not go below the allowed speed. Using the limited speed range, the
compressor lowest speed is the one which is valid for the whole envelope and is called MMS
(Maximum Minimum Speed). In this case running at high load the compressor is well protected
against too low and too high speeds. In the Speed-Drop-Protection mode, the drive will only use the
limited speed range.

5.2 Control and configuration
5.2.1 Selection of drive compressor code
The drive compressor code must be selected by a 6-digit binary coded DIP-switch which has to be
done before connecting to the drive. In case of a wrong configuration the 7-segment display shows
the error code E39. The PWM output shows a duty cycle of 25 %. In this case a power cycle is
needed to reset this fault. The DIP-switch will only be analysed once after a power cycle. During the
start-up cycle the 7-segment display will show the compressor as per the DIP-switch configuration –
see Table 14.
